It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Have you not read the news since March 2020? I don't plan to post thousands of links providing evidence of places around the world where people were/are not allowed to shop, to eat, to work, to ride public transportation, to participate in society because they were not properly vaxxed and boosted with proof. Didn't matter if they were "
great or small, rich or poor, free or slave." There extreme mandates went well beyond customary and precautionary quarantines for the sick.
These vaccine mandates alone move this well beyond "pure speculation," and the referenced verses provide adequate "scriptural basis."
But you are entitled to your own opinions here.
P.S. Note that I never said the vaccine itself was the actual mark of the Beast, only that the draconian mandates with their penalties were a
preparation for what the Bible prophecies of.
